Abstract

A synchronization signal transmitter is configured to be capable of storing unique identification information that can identify the synchronization signal transmitter and transmitting the identification information to a radiation irradiation apparatus and a radiation imaging apparatus. The radiation irradiation apparatus or the radiation imaging apparatus includes a hardware processor that determines whether or not the identification information that has been received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are in agreement with each other.

Claims (15)

1. A radiation imaging system comprising:

a radiation irradiation apparatus that generates radiation;

a radiation imaging apparatus that generates image data of a radiographic image in accordance with the radiation emitted; and

a synchronization signal transmitter connected to the radiation irradiation apparatus or incorporated in the radiation irradiation apparatus, the synchronization signal transmitter transmitting a synchronization signal to the radiation imaging apparatus, the synchronization signal being used to synchronize operations between the radiation imaging apparatus and the radiation irradiation apparatus, the synchronization signal transmitter storing unique identification information used to identify the synchronization signal transmitter and transmitting the identification information to the radiation irradiation apparatus and the radiation imaging apparatus, respectively, and

the radiation irradiation apparatus or the radiation imaging apparatus including a hardware processor that determines whether or not the identification information received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are in agreement with each other.

2. The radiation imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is an identifier of the synchronization signal transmitter.

3. The radiation imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is a combination of an identifier and an access key of a wireless network.

4. The radiation imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor restricts irradiation of the radiation by the radiation irradiation apparatus when the hardware processor determines that the identification information received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are not in agreement with each other.

5. The radiation imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor uses a communicator and notifies a user about a result of determination of whether or not the identification information received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are in agreement with each other.

6. The radiation imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein either of the radiation irradiation apparatus and the radiation imaging apparatus acting as a slave device performs again reception of the identification signal when the hardware processor determines that the identification information received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are not in agreement with each other.

7. A radiation imaging system comprising:

a radiation irradiation apparatus that generates radiation;

a radiation imaging apparatus that generates image data of a radiographic image in accordance with the radiation emitted; and

a synchronization signal transmitter incorporated in the radiation imaging apparatus, the synchronization signal transmitter transmitting a synchronization signal to the radiation irradiation apparatus, the synchronization signal being used to synchronize operations between the radiation irradiation apparatus and the radiation imaging apparatus, the synchronization signal transmitter storing unique identification information used to identify the synchronization signal transmitter and transmitting the identification information to the radiation irradiation apparatus and the radiation imaging apparatus, respectively, and

the radiation irradiation apparatus or the radiation imaging apparatus including a hardware processor that determines whether or not the identification information received by the radiation irradiation apparatus and the identification information received by the radiation imaging apparatus are in agreement with each other.
